Is it Spring Yet?

For Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply challenge this week, we are thinking spring. ANY thing spring; green grass, flowers, or even spring colors will do the trick! So, I've made a baby card for a family at church who had a boy about ten days ago. With blue skies, green grass, and a tree in bloom! I started with a card topper from Flower Soft's Nursery Rhyme Collection. It consists of eight pieces, 4 card stock toppers and 4 coordinating papers. This card uses one of the papers. I trimmed it down to accommodate my card layout. White and blue card stock is from Papertreyink, brown patterned paper is Crafty Secrets, Earthy.

In this photo you can see where I added my new Ultra Fine Flower Soft. On the little lamb, the color is Sand, the greens in the bush background and apple tree is Sage, and the red apple color is Strawberry. LOVE the Ultra Fine texture and colors! It will be available for purchase on February 1. Button is from BoBunny, ribbon is Michaels. I long to see green grass again, flowers, or trees in full bloom! How about you? Geesh, just a little sunshine would be great in overcast west Michigan! We did have a heat wave (so the weather man said) today 37 degrees! As you can tell I'm ready for a little bit of spring about now! So why not get a little of spring in our paper craft creations and join in on the Stamp Simply challenge?
